My experience when I follow my cross cultural class is meet native speakers from Australia. But, it was divided into 2 groups and it makes me just can meet Lachlan and Simon. My friends and I share our culture with them. It is fun to share about our culture because from this activity we can know and learn about different culture.
In this experience, I ask Lachlan about how did he make a preparation before come to this place. This is because in my experience, I always have shock when come in a new place. I want to know his secret. But, he said that he used to come a new place, so he did not make a special preparation.
From this activity, I know many things from them. They said that we have a different habit. For the example, we can eat soto for breakfast, but for them, it will make them have a stomachache. This is because something that we eat for breakfast is something that they eat for dinner.
Another things that I know from this experience is about family, religion, etc. In their culture, they will live separate with their parents if they have 17 (maybe, because I forget it is for 17, 18 or another age, :p). They also shocked about adzan in the morning. This is because they never hear loud voice in the morning in their place. But, they said that it's OK.
Next, when my friend ask how about education. Lachlan said that it's depend on the teacher. So, I think generally we don't have a different thing about education because it is depend on the teacher.
In the end of this experience, we just take pictures with them. But, before we take pictures, Lachlan said to me that my English is good. I don't know it's true or not because I think my English is bad. I can't use Grammar well and my words also limited. But he said that it's OK because his grammar also not good. He also said that it's not important thing. We just need to talk and practice. it's nice to meet them. :)
